Stahlhofen am Wiesensee: Hotels and Accommodation

Stahlhofen am Wiesensee is situated on a hill near the western shore of the 80-hectare Wiesensee; the lake is visible from large parts of the built-up area. The Wiesensee is currently undergoing restoration: it has been drained since February 2023, and refilling is expected to begin in early 2027. Until then, sailing and swimming are suspended, while the circular trail, café, hotel and golf course remain accessible.
